The Board of Directors and standards of the new railway industry (RissB) will be responsible for setting technical standards.
The Australian government has agreed to make ETCS mandatory for all future digital signal and control systems on the National Employment Network (NNI).
The Federal Minister of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, as well as infrastructure ministers and transport ministers, agreed to become the new standards and standards council in the RISSB RISB.
Etcs’s adoption will remove contradictions between the judicial states, allowing non -welded railway operations across the state borders. The interview is expected to improve safety, improve performance, and encourage more investment in the railway sector.
It was also taken care of applying for the national track to simplify the approval of the shares traded by the ministers, who support a national approach in buying trading shares for passengers to increase the participation of the local industry to the maximum.
RissB and Australian Railways Association (ARA) welcomes recent decisions.
Caroline Wilki, CEO of ARA, says that the “historic” decision to submit the controlled digital train controls at the national level will improve productivity and efficiency via the national rail network.
“ARA has long called for more coordination and inter -operational operation in the railway industry, and it is a pleasure to see a meaningful progress made,” she says.
“This decision ends for decades of contradiction on the national network, which made it difficult for railway operators to transport trains throughout the country.”
DRISB Chair, Dr. Jelian Miles, says new RissB strengthening will support the most integrated national rail network in the digital age, which includes mandatory standards for controlling the digital train.
“This is an important turning point for Rissb, as we play a stronger role in leading the implementation of national railway standards,” she says.
“RissB will continue to work with the National Transport Committee (NTC), the office of the National Railways Safety Organization (ONSR), federal governments and Australian state governments, RISSB personnel, public and private operators and other major interests.”
